Table 1_Incidence and risk factors of post-transplant diabetes mellitus after kidney trans

26 studies from 15 countries involving 8,727 participants were encompassed in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The analysis, conducted by Ni Chen and published on figshare, found the overall incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) after kidney transplantation was 20%. Advanced age, high BMI, family history of diabetes, high fasting plasma glucose, hypertriglyceridemia, and HCV infection were identified as significant risk factors.

Use Cases

• Estimating the incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) based on a synthesis of 26 studies.
• Identifying and validating clinical risk factors for PTDM, such as advanced age, high BMI, and HCV infection.
• Informing clinical screening protocols for kidney transplant recipients based on meta-analysis results.
• Benchmarking PTDM rates and risk factor associations against a pooled analysis of recent literature.

Strengths

• Systematic methodology using four major databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science) with a defined search cutoff date.
• Analysis includes data from 8,727 participants across 26 studies, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Risk of bias was formally evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS).
• Statistical analyses were performed with STATA 15, and results include odds ratios with confidence intervals.

Limitations

• The primary data file is a 33.6 KB DOCX document, suggesting the dataset is likely the manuscript or summary tables, not the raw underlying study data.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any underlying data are unknown.
• The temporal coverage of the included studies is not specified beyond being published after 2014.
